We went to the Petticoat Lane Market, but didn't buy anything, although I wanted to. There were a lot of cute clothes, but I don't really have space for anything. Then, we went to Brixton Market because Allen wanted to buy some fruit, but all we got were little oranges. (Ten for a pound!!! -Allen)
After that, we went to the Tate Modern. There were a lot of weird things, but I actually liked the surrealism exhibit. They had a nice Dali painting. There was also a Monet painting and some Picassos in another exhibit. Other than those, the best part was the giant table and chairs. Unfortunately, pictures and climbing weren't allowed.
We walked through Green Park to Buckingham Palace.
We had some sandwiches in the park by a pond. While we were sitting on the bench, a kid walked by and asked his dad, "Is the Queen only allowed to swim in there?"
The rest of the day isn't very interesting. We went back to the hostel and took a nap, then went to McDonalds to use the wireless because the hostel's wireless hasn't been working. It is now, though! It took a really long time to connect.
I'm sad, though! We didn't get to go on any walking tours. There's a haunted London one, but I didn't realize it until it was too late to go. On Sunday, there's a Harry Potter tour, but we won't be here then.
Tomorrow, we leave for Paris, but first we're planning to go to the British Library (lugging our enormous packs... -Allen).
